Wildlife in Yellowstone (Bison and more!)

Elk at Mammoth
While in Yellowstone we saw a lot of wildlife. Almost all the wildlife we saw were elk, followed by bison. We saw other animals as well, but they were a lot more rare.
Poking my tongue out
This bison ended crossing the road to check us out. We clambered into the Prius as this he made his way over.
Angry bison

On our last day out, we saw a group of Bighorn Sheep by North Gate. We found out that they are there almost everyday around sunset.




We also have some (not-so-good) pictures of bear with her cubs, and foxes. The bears are quite difficult to spot, as they show up in the Northern half of the park rather than being concentrated in specific areas.

Bear popping up to say hello (Mother from previous picture). Amazing focus on the trees in the background =(
The fox didn't say anything.
